Chapter 44

Besides, she is very happy right now, extremely, extremely happy. Her grandfather has recovered from his illness and is back to bickering with her again, tee-hee.

It is not as if they had never witnessed death; having reached the Transcendent Realm, no matter how merciful one might be, everyone has a few lives on their hands. However, this did not mean they could remain indifferent upon watching their fellow sect members being slaughtered.

"What? You still want to hold a press conference?" Hiraoka Mikio panicked. He had already made such massive concessions, so why on earth did the other party still insist on holding a press conference?

Yet this was merely the beginning. The metals constituting the warship fused together in an extremely short span of time, transforming into a gigantic knight's lance over thirty meters thick and three hundred meters long, which began to accelerate under Yang Ming's manipulation.

Even more Han troops had already appeared in the direction of Yuzhou: thirty thousand under Xie An's command, sixty thousand under Huan Wen's, and close to two hundred thousand led by Yuan Qiao. Thus, the Han forces in Yuzhou alone totaled two hundred and ninety thousand.

In fact, the moment Wu Ming witnessed the living sacrifice, he more or less understood the current state of the giant serpent; it was by no means an exaggeration to describe it as a mindless beast akin to a walking corpse.

The long-haired man stood with his hands behind his back, his starry eyes narrowed slightly, as though he felt a strange sense of familiarity toward the old man.

At this moment, the breakthrough in the power of the multitudes elevated Wu Ming's spirit even further, suddenly piercing through the surface world and entering an oppressive, dark netherworld.

"Yes, yes, yes..." What brought Gongsun Bao comfort was that Baekje did not dispatch an army to attack immediately; otherwise, the three-thousand-man vanguard would have been nothing more than fodder, and at least thirty thousand troops would have had to be deployed from the rear merely to drive the Han forces into the sea.

Hera and Satan could not help but look somewhat bewildered, their gazes involuntarily drifting toward Zeus's left hand, which was wrapped in a thirty-centimeter electrical cable.

For Igic to utter such a lengthy sentence in halting Chinese was already quite remarkable. Having no intention of saying anything further, he turned around directly and prepared to leave.

Jiang Ling did not wish for such a person to die, but the Azure Moon Eagle was simply too crucial, leaving him with no choice but to leave Sha Jingtian behind, hoping against hope that no puppet would track him down.

"The greatest value of the nine-headed golden lion lies precisely in those nine heads. We didn't control our strength properly just now and smashed several of them; otherwise, I would have loved to harvest all nine." The wet nurse also propped herself up to a sitting position, her fingertips waving lightly to carve off a piece of meat, which she popped directly into her mouth and chewed.

Because the emperor devised a method to deceive ghosts and gods, the common practice of using tin foil to substitute for silver during ancestral sacrifices was naturally passed down through the generations.

After drawing two cards, Ori directly banished one card from his hand, appearing to have prepared some contingency.

If she could also completely conceal the sound of the sword-string and the faint ripple radiating from it at the moment of her strike, it would be even more perfect.

Behind her, a pair of hands reached out. Those hands transcended the dimensions of time and space, crossing the boundary between life and death, and covered Zhong Wuyan's face.

It felt like an old friend after a long separation, though You Jian did not really recognize those nine pairs of eyes. After all, this truly was his first time setting sight upon them.

I tore open the barrier leading to the celestial realm with my bare hands, and a deep, abyssal black hole instantly ruptured before the crowd. Just as I was about to sweep them all away, an aura of demonic malice, powerful enough to instantly cause my heart to palpitate, surged into the sky from the east. I jerked my head around to look, and a visible green pillar of light spanned the distant sky, dyeing the azure expanse a brilliant green.

The zither player then returned, creating chaos at the execution ground with a guqin. Fighting side by side, the two carved out a bloody path of escape, believing they had finally broken free, only to be overtaken by members of the Divine Court, sparking yet another fierce battle. Unfortunately, the princess was caught in the crossfire and killed during this clash.

People could hardly imagine how exceptional Er Banxian's skills were nowadays. Just how formidable must his great-grandfather's grandfather have been back in the day? No wonder Er Banxian claimed that the older generation treated the Forbidden City as casually as their own backyard vegetable plots.

This statement was delivered with complete composure, yet it carried immense weight. The boss remained unfazed, still pondering why the sounds of fighting had ceased and yet no one had walked in yet.

Furthermore, these three realms of primordial energy were further divided into nine stages each. Only by cultivating through and breaking past the ninth stage of the previous tier of primordial energy could one enter the cultivation of the next realm.

Although Su Qinrong had no idea why her second-cousin once-removed wanted her to bring Chen Lixin to his home, she dared not disobey. She immediately called Chen Lixin and explained the matter. Though Chen Lixin felt somewhat uncertain, the two of them hurried over to He Cong's house nonetheless.

"Oh, stop talking nonsense like that! You say you have a wife to compensate you, but what about me? I want compensation and don't even have any!" Seeing a turning point in the situation, the matchmaker agreed to buy his corn, the wrinkles on her face smoothing out.

And what manner of mysterious organization could the EEO be, possessing the capability to hijack the Apophis?

Only then did the rock-earth corpse react. When it battled me, it had never felt fear, not even in the face of a volley of thousands of arrows. Yet right now, its entire head was covered in cold sweat.

"Are you playing with me?" Xu Zuoyan's smiling expression vanished as he glared at Gao Lingyun, burning with anger. When all was said and forth, this fellow still had no intention of letting him go; what he just said was purely meant to make fun of him.

"Sigh, Jianlin. Even if you didn't come to see me, I was going to visit you." At this very moment, seeing another nephew sitting in a wheelchair, Xiao Han's throat choked up instantly.

Right now, Yi Huarong was too busy dealing with the big fish and could not spare the energy to deal with him. However, if a grudge was truly harbored—a gentleman's revenge is not too late even after ten years—and his political career had only just begun, Zhao Zhengce felt the risk simply wasn't worth it.

Having spoken thus, the dagger flashed forward, driving straight into Dongfang Biyui's back. Bright red blood slowly trickled down, staining the ground a deep crimson.

Yueshang Shao could only weep bitterly, her vision blurred with tears. "Think it over carefully before giving this king your answer. If you are reasonable, this king will treat you with reason; if you are unreasonable, this king will deal with you unreasonably!" She immediately summoned the Western Consort and entrusted her with taking Yueshang Shao away, hoping that through her persuasion, she would come to her senses soon.
